Effective Date: October 13, 2026
Last Updated: October 13, 2026

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

Metropolitan Business Centers (MBC) is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities.

We recognize the importance of digital accessibility and strive to make our website usable by individuals with diverse abilities, technologies, and accessibility needs.

Our goal is to identify and reduce accessibility barriers, improve website usability, and provide reasonable alternative methods of accessing information and services when necessary.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and while we work toward recognized accessibility standards, we cannot guarantee that every page, feature, or third-party component will be fully accessible at all times.

2. Accessibility Standards

Metropolitan Business Centers uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as a target for evaluating and improving website accessibility.

These guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and address four accessibility principles:

• Perceivable: Information and interface elements should be presented in ways users can perceive.

• Operable: Navigation and interactive components should be usable through different input methods, including keyboards.

• Understandable: Information and website functionality should be clear and predictable.

• Robust: Website content should be compatible with commonly used browsers and assistive technologies.

Our accessibility efforts are informed by applicable requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other relevant accessibility laws. Referencing these standards does not constitute a certification or guarantee of legal compliance.

3. Accessibility Features and Improvement Goals

We aim to support the following accessibility features throughout our website:

Keyboard Navigation: Website menus, links, forms, and interactive elements should be accessible using a keyboard without requiring a mouse.

Screen Reader Compatibility: Content should use meaningful headings, descriptive links, properly labeled form fields, and semantic page structures to support assistive technologies.

Text Readability: We aim to maintain readable typography, sufficient color contrast, and clear content organization.

Alternative Text: Informative images should include meaningful text alternatives where appropriate. Decorative images should be handled so they do not create unnecessary distractions for assistive technology users.

Responsive Layouts: Website content should remain usable across desktop computers, tablets, mobile devices, and different screen sizes.

Forms and Interactive Elements: Contact forms and other interactive components should provide understandable labels, instructions, and error messages.

Zoom and Text Resizing: We aim to support browser zoom and text enlargement without unnecessary loss of content or functionality.

These are accessibility objectives and should not be interpreted as confirmation that every feature has been independently tested or verified.

4. Accessibility Testing Scope

Automated tools can identify certain accessibility problems but cannot independently verify complete accessibility. Manual evaluation is also important.

5. Known Limitations and Areas for Improvement

Despite our accessibility efforts, some website content or functionality may not yet meet every applicable accessibility criterion.

Potential limitations may include:

• Images or graphical elements that require improved text alternatives

• Third-party booking, pricing, or account management interfaces

• Embedded content maintained by external providers

• Inconsistent keyboard navigation in certain interactive components

• Differences in compatibility among browsers, devices, and assistive technologies

• Documents or content that may require additional accessible formatting

These are potential areas for evaluation, not a confirmed list of defects.

We aim to review reported accessibility barriers and prioritize improvements based on their impact on users.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may link to or integrate third-party platforms that provide services such as virtual office subscriptions, pricing, account management, scheduling, or other business-related functionality.

These third-party services may operate under their own accessibility policies and technical standards.

Although Metropolitan Business Centers encourages accessible digital experiences, we do not control every aspect of independently operated third-party websites.

If you experience an accessibility barrier while using a third-party service linked from our website, please contact us so we can review the concern and, where reasonably possible, help identify an alternative method of obtaining assistance.
